condemore Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Hello, I bought this from Josh. It's quartz, inexpensive. I didn
StormTooper4 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 That looks a pretty nice watch Nice photo's as well. Very interesting Wear it well ST4
Raijor Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Condemore welcome to the forum. Until you posted your pics I had only seen photos of this watch with a stainless steel bracelet and dismissed it outright as boring. But seeing your photo with the rubber strap has inspired me to reconsider this BM. I am going to pop over to Josh's site and check it out further. Thanks for posting. Cheers
condemore Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks Raijor. With the rubber and minimal weight, this combo is very convenient for these hot summer days, going to the beach without taking so much care of it. Other workmate bought the panda dial after seeing mine. I think it looks less serious with the white subdials. Tell us if you finally get one of these.
capice Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 great pics m8, I have it on stainless steel and I love it... Rajior.. On rubber it looks also superb.............
caracarnj Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Congrats bro! This is a very beautiful watch, and the shots are very well taken. In fact, as a newbie I have never consider B&M till I see this post! Once again, nice watch!
gregers Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I've just got the white faced quartz version from Josh with rubber strap and also ordered a ss bracelet for it. Quality is absolutely superb and it really is a most striking looking watch. I deliberately chose the quartz rather than the mechanical version as I am sick to death of the problems I've been having with mechanicals. In fact, I think I will restrict all my purchases to quartz versions from now on. Apart from the convenience, the prices make them real bargain. I have also just got the Porsche Flat Six in quartz and that is outstanding.
Corgi Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Lately I've discovered the joy of bicycling so I'm searching the market for a stylish quartz watch, because the constant bumps and rattles associated with the passtime are a nightmare for most mechanical watches. So keep those suggestions coming!
doc savage Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 That clasp looks really good. Is the quartz movement accurate to the gen? Corgi, for biking I still prefer my quartz titanium chrono avenger. Light as rubber and less sweaty.
condemore Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Posted August 6, 2008 That clasp looks really good. Is the quartz movement accurate to the gen? doc, neither I don't know nor I don't mind.
doc savage Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I happen to have the catalog, they do make a Riviera with quartz movement but apparently not the XL or XXL models. Still, the factory was nice enough to put "quartz" on the dial--nothing worse than ticking seconds with "automatic" on the face.
milsub5517 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 how is the lume on this watch? please post more pics.. im thinking of getting tis watch..hmmm
milsub5517 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 after a little bit of googling i found out that the jap quartz movement this watch has (OS20) is also used in some invicta's.
Digital Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 I have a co-worker who has that in Gen, I've always admired it; great pick up!
rek001 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 I'm ordering one of these this weekend. If the fit & finish is anything like my recently acquired IWC Cousteau quartz chrono ($120/iOffer) and my B&R quartz chrono ($99/iOffer), and I suspect it is, this watch will be AMAZING for the price. Guys, I don't know if you are aware but, the manufacturers are taking the cases & bracelets/straps from some of the $400 reps and putting cheap, super reliable quartz chronos in them. I'm collecting them all and having a lot of fun doing it.
milsub5517 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 he has auto right? I have a co-worker who has that in Gen, I've always admired it; great pick up!
dabouncer72 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 Does anyone know how to resize that kind of rubber strap? It doesn't look resizable
AllergyDoc Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Does anyone know how to resize that kind of rubber strap? It doesn't look resizable It has to be cut to fit. Like this one: It's easy. You just do it a little at a time. I wear mine a little large but it doesn't flop around on the wrist like a SS band would.

PAMman Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 oh, how/where would you cut it? At the clasp end(s).
alw Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Oooh...just checked the price! A fantasy watch for sure, but I
